[QUOTE="Mushroom, post: 574027, member: 46607"] I told my DSN that I would not be taking the Met. I had to make changes. Weight loss and exercise has proved the point in my case, may not work for others but if you read enough posts about problems with control there is often a common theme. Seek advice (especially on this on this forum) but for me ultimately it was my own decision and up to me to make a change to diet and lifestyle. Got to do it yourself - don't expect the DSN to solve all problems. If weight is a problem, start with reducing it. If the underlying cause is not addressed the medical profession's only answer is to increase or change medicine. That's all they can do. My nurse said that if she pushes the patient too hard to manage the diabetes themselves, they stop listening and then things just get worse. Felt quite sorry for her! [/QUOTE]
